Scott,

It's hard to say, regarding the "dark gunk" around C8 and J8 due to the picture quality. Does it appear to be on top of the surface of the board or is it embedded deeper near or on the trace? If the latter, it could be sign of corrosion and will need to be handled very carefully; we don't know how brittle the trace is in those spots. If it is the other, then it could simply be debris or surface corrosion and is mush safer to remove. But still, treat it as if it were a case of severe corrosion.

Looks like you've found all the caps you'll need. There's no axial-lead electrolytic caps for this board, so no need to buy those. C1 through C9 are all you have to replace. Talk to trag and he will sell you the caps you need. You can wash the board, but I personally consider that an option. I've been able to resurrect boards without the need of putting them in a dishwasher.
